Just ask any child, what it is that makes them smile
And they’ll tell you with their eyes, with a gaze that never lies
They’ll ask for a song, don’t matter if the words are wrong
And you don’t need a voice that’s strong, just let them know where they belong

[Chorus]
Just sing a sweet lullaby and you’ll hear a little sigh
And you never hear them cry, when they cuddle with their sleepy-by
Just sing a sweet melody, you should know two or three
Don’t worry if you’re doing it right, just sing softly in the night

If you ask for a special wish, I’m sure one just like this
Would be given in a moment, without a second spent
I wish that as I sleep, and the babe is counting sheep
The angels would sing a lullaby, as my child they safely keep

(They’d …) Chorus

Break

Just sing a sweet lullaby and you’ll hear a little sigh
Don’t worry if you’re doing it right, just sing softly in the night
Don’t worry if you’re doing it right, just sing softly in the night
